4+5(p-1) how to expand brackets and then simplify

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

these are multiplications.

you could also write

4 + 5×(p - 1)

now, we need to calculate the contents of brackets (if we can), then do the multiplications and divisions, before we can do the then remaining additions and subtractions.

if we cannot do a calculation directly (because there is a variable involved), we need to do and document the single steps for the individual parts involved.

so,

4 + 5×(p - 1) = 4 + 5×p + 5×-1 = 4 + 5p - 5 = 5p - 1

remember, a multiplication of 2 expressions is done by multiplying every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and adding the results up (by considering their individual signs, of course).

AysviL [449]

3+5=8

1200 voters

1200/8 = 150

Female: 5 x 150 = 750 voters

Male: 3 x 150 = 450 voters

Please help me with this math question!

1) Change radical forms to fractional exponents using the rule:
The n<span>th root of "</span>a number" = "that number" raised to the<span> reciprocal of n.
For example </span> $\sqrt[n]{3} = 3^{ \frac{1}{n} }$ .

The square root of 3 ( $\sqrt{3}$ ) = 3 to the one-half power ( $3^{ \frac{1}{2} }$ ).
The 5th root of 3 ( $\sqrt[5]{3}$ ) = 3 to the one-fifth power ( $3^{ \frac{1}{5} }$ ).

2) Now use the product of powers exponent rule to simplify:
This rule says $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m+n}
$ . When two expressions with the same base (a, in this example) are multiplied, you can add their exponents while keeping the same base.

You now have $(3^{ \frac{1}{2} })*(3^{ \frac{1}{5} })$ . These two expressions have the same base, 3. That means you can add their exponents:
$(3^{ \frac{1}{2} })(3^{ \frac{1}{5} })\\
= 3^{(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{5}) }\\
= 3^{\frac{7}{10}}$

3) You can leave it in the form $3^{\frac{7}{10}}$ or change it back into a radical $\sqrt[10]{3^7}$

------

Answer: $3^{\frac{7}{10}}$ or $\sqrt[10]{3^7}$
